Warlord was a U.S.-based ensemble that merged elements of doom metal with hardcore punk, creating a distinctive "doomcore" genre. Established in 1997, the group secured a contract with Solid State Records and produced an EP titled Warlord alongside their first full-length release, Rock the Foe Hammer. Prior to their dissolution, they toured alongside labelmates Training for Utopia. To assist drummer Timothy Henderson during his health difficulties, a compilation featuring one new track and an unreleased song from Rock the Foe Hammer was issued.
